I've bought Xenoblade Chronicles, i'm trying it on Dolphin 3.0 but i can barely play it with 2x resolution, no anti aliasing and 1x anisotropic filtering, otherwise i get crappy fps, like 10-11 fps...I've read Dolphin doesn't support multi core like i7, is there a way i can however play in a decent way maybe? thanks

For anyone interested the i7 2630 QM is a quad core (thus the Q in the name) sandy bridge based cpu with a 2.9GHz max turbo boost speed. And a GT540M ranks in between a 6570 and 6670 graphics card (similar speeds to a GT 440/GT 240/9600GT).

Your specs are decent now how about your settings (please provide screenshots of all of your settings in dolphin)?

If you cant change the resolution,AA and AF,its not problem with your cpu it means you gpu is too weak for the job ( which 540m is,it's only as fast as 440 desktop variant which is too slow )
Also,I never understood why people are trying to game on laptops or even buy "gaming laptops"
Do that only if you have a lot of money and can afford best laptops available. Otherwise,stick to desktop pc,because they are much cheaper when it comes to gaming or emulation.
Decent gaming pc will only cost $500-$600.
Decent gaming laptop is minimum $1000
